Anybody else planning on getting Star Trek Online when it hits?
I'm normally anti-MMO, especially subscription-based ones, but I'm such a trekkie that this one's worn down my defenses, and I must have it.
No, but I plan on getting into Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Let the battle of Star Trek versus Star Wars begin!
Hey, I like Star Wars too. I just don't think that TOR looks particularly great. It looks like a well-crafted game with ginormous production values that has absolutely nothing new to offer besides 'WHOOSH, space adventure!'. STO just looks to be a far more interesting experience to me.
Speaking of Star Wars, though, I'm freaking loving Star Wars: The Force Unleashed right now...
WHOOSH, space adventure!
Hahah, yeah, BUT SO BE IT! I don't play any games like that so I'm looking forward to it myself.
Well, I can now say with confidence that STO is freaking awesome. I got into open beta today. After downloading, installing, patching, etc. I only played about an hour (going to bed now) but it was a pretty sweet opening hour. The ship combat is superb, and the ground combat, while perhaps not quite as stellar, is still pretty great. Most of the issues I had with ground combat were just response issues, which theoretically would be fixed post-launch anyways.
Anyways, I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to trade the WoW habit in for something a bit more spacey.
